The Clark's Nutcracker feeds its nestlings pine seeds from its many winter caches. Because it feeds the young on stored seeds, the nutcracker can breed as early as January or February, in spite of the harsh winter weather in its mountain home. (CornellLab)

"The Clark's Nutcracker hides thousands and thousands of seeds each year. Laboratory studies have shown that the bird
has a tremendous memory and can remember where to find most of the seeds it hides."

Yup, another Grebe family. I live for this time of year, for these endearing families. Musta seemed a bit early for the chicks. By the way, you can see a bit of the Clark's crewcut/flattop feather shape, only from the more front-on viewpoint. Doesn't appear at all when viewed from the profile.

This is the 3 to 4 inches received overnight with wind gusts over 40 mph. The heavier snowfall was north and east of us into Minnesota.
Their appearance is "ghost like" leaning every direction, with the snow coating. Even some suborn leaves that just refuse to fall into the wind . . .

I got great views of this species in the Santa Fe area of New Mexico. It's always nice to see nutcrackers well, as they can be a somewhat difficult to get close to unless they are acclimated to humans. In this case, they were coming to a feeder and some peanuts we put out for them.
A Western Grebe (on the left) and a Clark's Grebe were in a territorial fight. They fought up and down the water for quite a while. In the end, none appeared to be a winner, they paddled away in different directions.
These two species can be either friends or foes. Many times they are paired and raise a family together.
Point Clark Lighthouse is located on Point Clark. The lighthouse warns sailors of the shoal 2 miles (3.2 km) off the Lake Huron coast. The lighthouse is 110 feet (34 m) tall, made of limestone brought from Inverhuron by barge. Construction of the lighthouse started in 1857. There are 114 steps from the bottom to the lantern room. The 12 sided cast iron lantern was first lit on April 1, 1859 and is 87 feet (27 m) from the base of the tower. The Point Clark lighthouse was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1966, the first Ontario lighthouse to be so designated. The lighthouse was built by John Brown in the well-known series of the six Imperial Towers. To help build the lighthouse, several French builders were used. The light was first automated in 1924, but as a result of the poor quality of the light the original second-order fresnel lens was reinstalled. In 1963 the fresnel lens was automated. Its light characteristic is a single white flash every ten seconds, emitted at a focal plane height of 93 feet (28 m). The lighthouse is owned by Parks Canada. The lightkeeper's house is now a museum operated by the Township of Huron-Kinloss and tourists can tour the lightkeeper's home and the lighthouse from mid June to Labour Day. (Wikipedia)

From Wikipedia:
The nutcrackers (Nucifraga) are a genus of four species of passerine bird, in the family Corvidae, related to the jays and crows.
The genus Nucifraga was introduced by the French zoologist Mathurin Jacques Brisson in 1760 with the northern nutcracker (Nucifraga caryocatactes) as the type species. The genus name is a Neo-Latin translation of an old German name Nussbrecher, "nut-breaker".
Point Clark Lighthouse is located on in a beach community, Point Clark, Ontario, near a point that protrudes into Lake Huron. Built between 1855 and 1859
Continuing my set of waterfowl images with this Clark's Grebe. This grebe species looks very similar to its close cousin, Western Grebe. Tomorrow I'll post a Western Grebe for comparison and a tip on the easy way to tell the two species apart.
In past trips to Klamath Falls I saw a lot of grebe feeding and courting activity. That wasn't the case this spring, thus I have many images of grebes swimming by. Local birders suggested the water in the lake was too high this year. It certainly was flowing fast, and was choppy. I bounced around quite a bit out there. Regardless, any time I can get out is a good time. No complaints. Upper Klamath Lake in Klamath Falls, Oregon - 5/2025
Pan Am Southern PL-1 crosses Clark Avenue in Bristol, CT heading for the Terryville Loop with a small train.
I was fortunate to get the opportunity to observe and photograph this bird for several minutes. It was rather tolerant of my presence and was solitary. Western Grebes in the area were paired up. In my area Clark's are significantly less common than Western Grebes and I consider it a good day when I encounter one. Market Lake WMA, Roberts, Idaho

Five elephant-style Delaware & Hudson EMD’s and a contrarian Conrail B23-7 lead a northbound D&H train through Clarks Summit, Pennsylvania. The front of the train has just crested the heavy grade out of Scranton, and will have an easier time the rest of the way to Binghamton. The bridge in the background is the final one on the Pennsylvania Turnpike’s Northeast Extension.
